Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Men

Style: Traditional, Classic


Materials

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Be very careful with rotary cutters. I've never used one before and it seemed to veer away sideways, cutting into my material! Otherwise, this is a beautiful pattern. The pillow is so handsome in the study with large bookcases surrounding it.
